Have you owned a Standard Poodle dog?

The Standard Poodle is a companion dog originating in Germany & central Europe in the 1500’s. They measure over 15 inches tall. This lively dog needs lots of exercise and loves the water! They are obedient, loyal, and good with people and other pets. This pup has many talents including retrieving, competitive obedience, tricks, and being a watch dog. They need regular exercise with the owner leading the way during walks. If they do not get the proper amount of exercise, they tend to get a bit high-strung. Grooming includes regular baths, teeth scaling, and regular trimmings. The most common for the Standard Poodle is the “puppy clip”, a basic all over short cut. Many that compete in shows have different styles, including such clips as the “English Saddle”, “Continental”, “Town & Country”, and more. The Standard Poodle was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1887.
